Hi folks,
we're using a HP Proliant DL380 Gen8 with a RAID-5 (4 x 300 GB HDD SAS). There are four virtual maschines and ESXi 6.5 is installed in a SD card. Unfortunately I got the message that the SD card isn't accessible any longer (message in HP iLO log and vCenter: Verbindung zum Gerät mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0, welches das Boot-Dateisystem /vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0 unterstützt, ging verloren).
The plan now is to shut down the 4 VM's, set the host into maintenance mode and save the host configuration ( Get-VMHostFirmware -BackupConfiguration -DestinationPath 'D:\temp\'). After that I will replace the SD card inside the server, re-install ESXi 6.5 and restore the host configuration.
But due to the fact the SD card is inside the Proliant which has to be removed from the rack and opened it's just easier to use an USB drive instead.
My Question: does the configuration work if I will replace the boot device (SD card => USB) with the some configuration or not?
Thank you.
